Bangladesh were both on declining trend in FY 09 from

rice crop.

Fiscal Developments
{ Revenue receipts in H1 FY 10 registered 16.8% growth
over the same period of previous year with high
growth in income tax offsetting the low growth in
custom duty receipts.

Developments in External Sector
{ Export shipments declined in FY 10 due to weak
demand recovery in markets abroad with 4.7% y-o-y
decline during July-January 2010.
{ There are indications of incipient recovery in export
growth; Order books of exporters in the apparel sector
are reportedly full with shipments to new destinations
in East Asia beginning to offset demand weakness in
traditional markets.
